Thank you Upper Valley birders, and Susan Tollis in particular, who 
showed me this life bird today. It happened in a funny way. I drove to 
Pompy at around 11AM armed with my usual negative attitude ("this is 
probably another one I'm going to miss") and without a telescope. I 
walked up and  down Rte 132, saw nothing, and was about to leave when I 
caught sight of parked cars on a side road where cars don't ordinarily 
park. On the off chance that they could be birders, I drove into that 
side road. Before I got to the cars I'd seen (which I later learned 
belong to George Clark and Ed Haack), I bumped into Susan. She asked if 
I was looking for the stilt and when I said yes offered to take me to 
it. She took me right back to where I'd been, where the stilt sandpiper 
was now in plain sight. With the help of her telescope I got great views 
of the bird. Again  I say, "Thank you Upper Valley birders." You are a 
helpful bunch!
